As it can be seen clearly by the wear around the center hole
that this 78 RPM has had a lot of use, I like to think that it was part of a set
of one of the Sound Systems that were operating in London during the 1950s by
the likes of Duke Vin and Count Suckle, or maybe it was in heavy use by someone
who held regular 'Blues parties'. Duke Vin had DeeJay'd for Tom The Great
Sebastian in Jamaica before arriving in the UK in 1954, where he set up the
first British Sound System and would play all the top R&B cuts for the
many new Jamaican immigrants just like they heard them in Jamaica. Tunes like Coxsone
Hop and Page Boy Shuffle,
along with the Bill Doggett above, originally released on King # 5000
backed with Hand In Hand, the on this release the flip is Peacock
Alley, which was released on King #5001 backed with Honky Tonk
vocal by Tommy Brown.
